Get Informed with the White House YouTube Channel “Citizen Tube”

A while back I wrote a blog on the best websites to learn about healthcare reform. The websites mentioned were official sites with lots of information from both sides of the political spectrum. But what would be better than hearing it directly from the horse’s mouth? I’m not sure how many American citizens know about the White House-backed YouTube Channel called Citizen Tube. The issues surrounding Healthcare Reform have not gone away and today (Thursday, February 25th), the White House streamed a live feed of the bipartisan healthcare reform debate.

Google’s Super Bowl Ad

Super Bowl XLIV (44) was apparently the most watched show in US television history with an estimated 106.5 million viewers according to Nielsen Co. Of course the winners in this situation are definitely the viewers, no matter which team you were rooting for, but the runner-up is probably the various companies hoping to pull in consumers with their advertising. This year there were creative, touching and odd advertisements from a wide range of companies: Doritos, Coca Cola, Budweiser, Bud Light, Snickers, Anheuser Busch, Dove for Men, Kia, Hyundai, Bridgestone, Focus on Family, Vizio, GoDaddy.com and more.

Using Social Media for Relationship Marketing

Trying to acquire new customers is more costly than keeping the ones you already have. Relationship marketing is geared towards customers that are the most valuable for your business. These customers expect great customer service and want to feel like they have some kind of relationship with the company in hopes that the company will make them feel like a valued customer. In turn, these customers are usually the most loyal and will spread the word about your business. Let us hope you do not disappoint them.

How Video Can Help Your Website

With so many videos online—thanks to websites like YouTube, Viemo, Sorenson Media, Hulu, etc.—who wants to read anymore? A recent study, conducted on October 9 by comScore, revealed that over 167 million US viewers watched an average of 167 videos per year Many companies have started to implement video tours and “screen casts” to their site to help increase traffic and website activity. Video media aids to grab the attention of the viewer more dramatically than a simple image or text normally can; this makes it a useful tool for internet marketing. The beauty of video is that you don’t just tell your viewer or customer what your products and/or services are, but you show them! TV is video format; the only problem is that “it comes at you” … the internet is controlled by the viewer … you see and hear content of your choice and at a time of your choosing.

Great Halloween Makeup Tutorials on YouTube

Halloween is a fun day for kids and adults alike. Thanks to the internet and so many people contributing and sharing information on the web, the internet has become a great resource for whacky and unusual costume ideas. I’m excited about my costume this year but really need some how-to-apply-make-up tips. There were tons of search result pages with instructions available, but what kind of makeup instruction does not include a visual aid? Luckily I found some great make up tutorial channels on YouTube to help complete the transformation one step at a time.

The Ford Fiesta Movement Campaign is All about Social Media

If you are a business owner and you are still not convinced your company should have a presence in social media, then you need to think again. The Ford Motor Company, the world’s fifth largest automaker and an American company dating back to 1903 has launched a campaign called the “Fiesta Movement”. With the auto consumer trend starting to shift towards more gas efficient models, it makes sense that Ford is bringing back their infamous mini subcompact, the Fiesta. To market the Fiesta, Ford is using a newer form of internet marketing that uses social media as the platform for mass promotion.

Twitter Trending Topics Trendsetter: YouTube Trending Topics

One of the most notable things on Twitter is the ever-so-popular trending topics. Just one click and you can read what thousands of people are saying in regards to a topic; well, if you withstand all the spam of course. I personally have a lot of fun with Twitter’s trending topics, at least the ones I can relate to.
